@lord_drageon A vine receptor detects the ships, and a Tesseract signature is picked up.
G4L4XY the rebel dragons make a kind-of circle, facing outwards
lord_drageon *As they face outwards, they come face-to-face with a swarm of Blossom light fighters. However, it seems that this is too small of a fleet, and there may be more.

(design's old, I'll update it eventually)
G4L4XY the rebel dragons sit there until attacked.
lord_drageon Acid spikes begin firing as the things move closer, in an attempt to subjugate the ships.
all 5 of these begin attempting to obliterate the other ships. (do you want to simulate this or shall i?)
lord_drageon (if you have brood mod, you can. check if my ships can bypass the shields to collide with the ships without being destroyed. if they make it, i'll say your ship is subjugated)
G4L4XY ok just have to open cosmoteer...
G4L4XY also, when a ship is subjugated, how does it act? does it know its former allies? does it know its former enemies? how, if at all, does it communicate with other ships?
lord_drageon When a ship is subjugated, its crew is killed off and absorbed for nutrients, and hivemind plantlife takes over. It communicates via transmitter buds which grow on it after complete subjugation, or with linked consciousness to other members of the hivemind.
G4L4XY does it know which ships are former allies?
G4L4XY is it ok if they come in waves of 5? i dont want to break my computer. even waves of 10 would be ok
lord_drageon Knowing that it's now in the hivemind, it probably detects them as enemies.
G4L4XY does it absorb the former captains knowledge?
lord_drageon It's fine.
lord_drageon Filters through the knowledge and deletes anything that...
A. Is unimportant B. Creates a risk to the hivemind such as rebellion.
got it. thx
lord_drageon No problem.
G4L4XY currently, everything is bouncing of the sheilds of the rebel ships but on the second wave, one of the blossoms begins sidling around its enemy, towards the weak spot.
lord_drageon K. Did you set them to try and move past the shields? That's what they're trying to do, but you can push them back with shots.
G4L4XY well now one of the rebel ships has been subjugated, but is bumping into gaia, yelling on the communications about traitors hiding inside. well, not technically yelling.
